splOrches Of phOsphorescen flight burst from
the waters. The islands, each small as it
is, bear three names-Engiish, japanese
and Chinese. Two of the group are vol

Of smoke, which dissipate themselves like
mist over the sky. At night flashes of fire
and molten lava are seen, while often the
effect of internal explosions is felt on pass
ing ships
Fishermen land upon them, and | am
told that they find the earth warm enough
even in winter to make fire quite unne-
cessary. The famous Loo Choo group are
visible, and the rock upon which the steam
ship Normanton struck last October and
went down with twenty. five souls on
board. The Loo Choo Islands have long
beel bone Of contention to China and
Japan, but are now tributary to the latter
country, though a Chinese official holds
some power, l believe, in Okinawa and
receives tribute from certain islands. To
these islands the Japanese Christian con-
verts OF San Xavier fled at the time of the
persecution and the extirpation of Chris
uianity from Japan, in the early part of the
seventeenth century. Crossing the Yung
Hal, the island light of the Turnabout is
sighted eff the coast OF the Flu Kyen prov
ince. and then the course lies down the
PeScadores Channel, between the rich island
of Formosa and China. The water becomes
a beautiful green, such as is familiar 20 us

About which will tell you history, and
from whose shores there came over to
Japan the first breath of Christianity. In
the middle OF the sixteenth century the
Portuguese traveller Mendez Pinto, while
on board pirate junk on his way to the
Loo ChoD islands, was carried out of his
course and landed upon Tanega-Sima,
where he was Kindly received and his COM
panions sold their freight at an enormous
profit. Pinto was invited 10 visit the main
island, aud did so, spending couple Of
wears. lie brought with him the
first firearms seen in the country,
and taught the Japanese the Sc
cret of manufacturing gunpowder. He
returned to Europe and all know the I'M
enviable reputation he gained by his Won
derful stories and his nickname ofthe Liar.
Jesuit fathers soon followed him and be-
gan to teach One looks at this little
island with interest when he knows it to
be the key which first opened the empire
of Japan to the world, though it remained
open but a short time, and then closed
after giving but a glimpse of its treasures
to the outside barbarians Most of US have
forgotten that as long as the latter part of
the sixteenth century, Christianity num-
bered fully half million of converts in the
empire and hundreds of churches, while

The sioux CITY 4, fsacific,

Omaha, Nebraska, June 20--Meesra.
Pattison and Littler, members of the
Pacific railroad commission. arrived here
this morning from the east. They spent
Saturday in Chicago, taking tbs testi-
mony OF Marvin Hughltt, president OF
the Chicago g. Northwestern railroad
company, and the president OF the
Sioux City & Pacific company. MIR.
Hughitt testified:
Tha Sioux City and Pacific road would
not be able, on the maturity of the GOV.
ernment loan, to pay anything teward
discharging it's obligations to the gov
ernment. Ii the government insisted on
forcing its lien the comtnon stockholders,
he thought, would abandon the prop
erty; A majority of the stock was now
held by the Chicago g. Northwestern
railroad company, which bought the
stock for cash, at what rate MIR. Hughitt
did not know.
An examination OF the minute book of
the Sioux City company disclosed
among other things the fact that about
the time the Sioux City &C. Pacific was
turned over TO the Northwestern coIn-
pany John I. Blair, of New Jereey,
secured q passage by the SIOUX railway
directors of o resolution providing for
the assumption by the Northwestern
company OF all Obligations OF the Sioux
City company except Its obligation to
the government.

Here is declaration OF principles
from the Huron Huronite which will
stand the test OF time:
The Huronite, to the measure of it's
mSd abilities, proposes to make
war on that unconstitutional, purely
arbitrary nsnrpeiiop, known rs the
/" Dakota government ADMINISTERED by
swafm of carpet baggers sent out by
the administration st Washington. For
the United States it has the profonnd-
est respect, and it's rightful Representa-
tives are as entitled TO respect here az in
any state IN the union; but the unwar,
ranted, tyrannicai system of congress
sional and presidential control of the
local affairs OF great state; like Dakota,
We profoundly hate, and We cannot be
expeoted to have very tender regard for
its tools, who are sent ont here to lord
it over the people. The carpet bagger
must go-sometime.
To which might be added thatlf the
carpet Dagger wont go, he must be
crowded out. He is becoming more and
more obnoxious, more and more danger
ous. He is swarming in upon us claim,
ing the prerogatives Of dictator. With
the Church dynasty all this should end /.
1t may perhaps be politio to- coverup
the real feeling upon this eubiect--to
bury the sentiment ever struggling to
the surface against this usnrpation--but
policy never brought justice to the res
cue of people upon whom injustice was
inflicted.

Another scheme against Dakota

Another scheme against Dakota is
outlined by the restless Washington
correspondent Of the st. Paul Pioneer
Press. AS it has been reproduced by
the Sioux Fails Argus Leader, We feel
comparatively safe in giving further
circulation to the exposed project. This
is what the Pioneer Press correspondent
says: E.
1t is whispered here that there are
two or three republicans in Dakota
whose friendship the president is desir-
ous OF securing and they may not be
surprised to see themselves honored
either directly or through the medium
ship of Governor Church before long. /
have heard the names mentioned, but
| do not repeat them because the state
ment is but little better than rnmor
and lmight be dong them an injury.
One however, is q resident OF Sioux
Falls, and the other pioneer settler in
Bismarck. Both, if am correctly in.
formed, have acted fer many
years with the republican party, and 80
far as known have not transferred their
allegiance. Those who advise this step
think there is big opportunity for dem
ocratic proselyting in the territory and
look upon the step indicated as the
surest way to make Dakota democratic
state. The president is skeptica1. bat
is understood to consent to the plan.
It will be interesting to see the plan
unfold itself and to see the two or three
republicans lead the party around by
the nose. One lives in Sioux Falls and
the other lives in Bismarck. They are
marked men.

During the last congressional contest
over the admission Of Dakota. the op-
position alleged two things against Da-
kotaians- general lawlessness, not con-
ducive to, good financial, moral and
social standing, and an inability to de-
eide whether they wanted one state or
two. The statistics Of the school and
church department have sho8n that
Dakota is ahead of fifty per cent of the
states IN moral, educational and social
requirements and the Washington Star,
referring to the recent sale OF over D
half million Of territorial AZ per cent
bonds at q premium, gives the following
relative to our financial position:
Tue financial world does not seem to
endorse the imputation OF lawlessness
affecting this terfitorys credit which
was made part of the feeble excuse for
refusing it admission as a state. The
territory,is popuious, we'll to-do. and Law
abiding and If congress had done its duty
and admitted the new state, Dakota's
financial credit would rate even more
highly than at present.

nancial standing having been well es-
tablished. Dakota proroaes at next No.
